somehow i found this out like a month after Phantom Menace came out and i remembered it. It was like GL had put it in the script permanently early on. I remember thinking that it was goin to happen in Ep. 2

But in Ep. 3 when padme ran off the ship to find anakin i knew it was coming but when it happened my jaw dropped anyways. The line where Padme says "Anakin you're breaking my heart." makes this scene even more tragic because she was such a lovable and strong-willed character that seeing her in pain was horrible.

My brother was a little spolied from me but not that much and the first thing he said when we walked out of the cinema, well no the first thing he said was that it ruled but then he said that he didnt think padme would die because of what leia said in rotj about knowing her mother. He thought maybe she would survive and go to alderan then die there when leia was young or maybe be sick at the end of rots so after watching it you would quess she would die soon or something.

yes, I fully agree. In hindsight, I wish I didn't know about these fights. It was cool to eat up all the spoilers before the movie came out, but once I saw it (while knowing didn't ruin my experience as it was still cool to see how they all played out), I wish I had not read up on all the spoilers. It would have been more shocking/exciting, more sad, especially Mace Windu's death scene/Anakin's betrayal.
And if I hadn't read the novel, Dooku's fight scene also would have been better to me.

I wish I wouldn't have heard how Dooku or Mace died and about the fight between Yoda and Sidious.

Same here. When I first heard/saw in trailer about them I was so shocked I was like "Palpatine is gonna duel the 4 of them?!" Then when I first saw the movie I was like "Oh. That wasn't much of a duel. More like an execution arena." It was pathetic.
